Yes, potato chips are completely fine in that situation. I don’t know why people say they have too much salt. Sure, they have a lot, but when you have a cold, you’re supposed to drink a lot of water, so that balances out. You can lose a lot of salt due to sweating (especially if you have a fever) and peeing. And salt is a very important electrolyte. And the fat and starch gives you calories.

Gnome is great because of the large UI size. Like my 14" notebook has a roughly 2800x1600 screen resolution and it’s still pretty usable without any UI scaling. If the bars are an inch tall, you’re either using a huge TV or a screen from the garbage dump. Gnome really needs a modern system.

The post itself implies causation. Also why would a bot unfollow at all?

I think you would be fine for a long time if you drank old-style beer. Unfiltered, low alcohol content, some remaining sugar/starch and with lots of yeast, maybe some impurities that probably contain amino acids, vitamin b12 and other important stuff.

Why would a bot unfollow because someone is coming out as lesbian?

Java only has instanceof and getClass, not typeof.

The “q. s.” remains a mystery though.

q.s. means quantum satis and is Latin for “as much as necessary”. Which means they add enough for the right consistency or flavour or whatever, but the exact amount isn’t given and might vary.

Also parts of the existing tech tree, just to be clear.

0°C is completely fine with jeans and a thick jacket, especially when it’s sunny and there isn’t much wind. It’s cold, but there’s probably not much ice or snow, if anything, probably mostly slush.

Compared to say -20 C where you should have a good ski jacket and ski pants, warm shoes and socks, generally multiple layers everywhere, winter gloves and so on.

Some are, the intellij java community edition is even open source. The paid ones are not too expensive, I pay around 200€ yearly for the all products pack and that’s definitely worth it for a professional developer. If you are a student or open source developer, you can apply for free versions also.

In Skyrim you’re literally on foot and the world slowly expands around you and you become interested in it.

Yeah, and exploration wisey I prefer Oblivion even more. Skyrim feels smaller and less varied, and horses and other fast-travel options are cheaper and easier available.

Blue light gets scattered more by the atmosphere. So less blue light is received directly in a straight line from the sun and more is reflected from other parts of the sky. That’s also why the sky looks blue in the day and why the evening sky looks red (if the sun is very low during the evening, the blue light can’t reach you because it scattered so much due to the very long shallow way through the atmosphere)

In spring, I put a few sprouting potatoes in the compost, waited a few month and since July or so I have a huge bucket of homegrown potatoes that I have problems to use up. So very easy food source. Can recommend. There were a few pill bugs/ potato bugs who love the taste of the plants, but their damage had not much effect on the harvest in the end.

“most” would be an exaggeration, but many are. Other animals commonly used in placeholder names are also horse, chicken and lion.

Pig was just the most common meat animal, so any unknown animal that you’d eat would he called an xyz pig. Apple was also used like this for all kinds of fruits and vegetables:

orange = Chinese apple

tomato = golden apple (?)

pomegranate = granate apple

potato = earth apple

jimsonweed = thorn apple

And so on

A human character in the Terminator films, who leads the resistance against the machines.

Before USB C, the standard was pretty much Micro USB and before that Mini USB. Only before that, you see tons of weird proprietary connectors.

For modeling I like Freecad and Blender. Blender is more for general modelling and sculpting, Freecad is more for cad/constraint based creation of precise 3d models. So use blender if you want to create little soldiers or elephants or other more organic stuff, and use Freecad if you want to print a replica of a plastic part or an enclosure or something like that.

There should be tons of slicers available on Linux.

Yes, it’s very efficient and the core of what complession formats like .zip do.

The main difference to your idea is that computers count in binary like 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101 and so on and that you don’t want to assign these very low codes words directly. Say you’d have assigned 1 the most common word, then that will would be encoded very short, but you’d sort of take the one away from all the other codes, as you don’t know if 11 is twice the most common word or once the 11th (3rd in decimal) common word.

Huffman essentially computes the most optimal word assignments mathematically.

The main other difference between your suggestion and most compression algorithms is that you wouldn’t use a huge dictionary in real time and loading it and looking into it would be very slow. Most compression algorithms have a rather small dictionary buildin and/or they build one on the fly looking at the data that they want to compress.

I always thought hdr was more of a preprocessing step to prevent clipping unrelated to display tech.

That’s tone mapping, HDR is actually having more than 8 bits and often also more colorful colours than normal. I think 10 bits are common.

Nice, haven’t played Factorio for a while, but I could probably get back into it with the expansion.
